Dazzling Stupidity
My tolerance for blind stupidity seems to be diminishing w/age.
While on MUNI this afternoon, this lady felt the need to interrupt my conversation and asked me, “Why are you gay? I just don’t get it.” Before I even thought about it, I blurted out, “Well, being gay was my 2nd choice. I actually wanted to be the Wizard of Oz but the position was already taken.”
She was less than amused. However, the look on my face clearly demonstrated my contempt for sheer stupidity. She was content to turn and walk away.

and I wanted to be Glinda the Good Witch - but that position was taken too…
Damn it all…
Wow! What an awesome answer!
OMG that is too funny! Hopefully a house won’t fall on her and someone steal her shoes tonight!
Alternate reply: “I dunno, why are you a cunt? I just don’t get it?”
The answer was priceless!!!!! I am SO using it if I have the chance.
Adam: I can’t believe you said the “C” word!!! Did you cover all your pokemon’s ears before saying that?
What a rude woman!
You could just have easily asked her why she was a lesbian - cuz if she liked cock, she wouldn’t have had to ask!
Is this a warning that the horribly stupid are getting even bolder?
Well she said she didn’t get IT, so maybe she was hoping if you were straight you’d have given IT to her.
I, too, was disappointed not to have been offered the job of Wizard of Oz. I think I’d have made a fantastic floating head.
Are you fucking kidding me?
So good that you have a quick wit - otherwise that would have been the perfect moment wasted!
Wish I had been there with you….
After I’d slapped her stupid bitch ass, I’d have laughed, and pointed, and giggled, and snickered at her. What a dweeb.
Brilliant!
You DO realize that the Wizard is a tad bit gayer than you - right?
Brilliant answer! I probably would have picked on one of her undoubtedly many physical flaws.
Your answer is the type of thing I’d have thought about 2 hours later. I probably would have just told her to fuck off.
Years ago I had someone call me a fag on Market St. downtown. I was shocked. I thought, man, if you say that to all the fags here in SF you’re gonna lose your voice.
Having met you, I can totally hear you saying that! Sweet! I’d have probably got all serious like saying, “I dunno. Ask God.” Yours is funnier.
The Wizard of Oz? Well you certainly would not have wanted to be the Scarecrow. I’m glad your here and queer.
People say things like that … in San Francisco???
One of those “only in San Francisco” moments I do so miss…
I am always utterly amazed at the level of stupidity of people who survived to adulthood.
I love your response!
